HDMI offers higher quality than component video. If your HDTV has an HDMI
input, use the HDMI connector. HDMI carries video and audio. If you connect
your HDTV using HDMI, no additional audio connection to the TV are
necessary.
If your HDTV has DVI input, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable to
connect to set-top box HDMI connector. Use a cable with an HDMI connector
on one end and a DVI connector on the other end. We do not recommend
using the HDMI-to-DVI or DVI-to-HDMI adapter. Because DVI does not carry
audio, a separate audio connection is required for DVI TV.
The Y Pb Pr connectors provide component video the most widely supported
HDTV connection. If your HDTV only has Y Pb Pr inputs, use these
connectors.
This is the highest quality standard video output. If your standard TV has an S-
Video input, connect it to the S-VIDEO output on your set-top box using the
provided S-Video cable.
If your standard TV does not have an S-Video input, connect it to the VIDEO
OUT connector on your set-top box using the provided RCA-type video cable.
If your TV only has a coaxial RF input, use the coaxial TO TV (VIDEO OUT)
connector.
